Description

This acrylic piece depicts the aftermath of a Nor'easter
that blew through Provincetown during the Halloween weekend in 2011

A Jack-o-lantern, and other Halloween ephemera,
washed up next to Captain's Jack's Wharf, along with a squid or two.

Captain Jack's Wharf is located at 73A Commercial Street,
in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

The property has been known by other names throughout it's long history, including Venus, Windswept, and the Wreck Cabins.

Here is some colorful history of these rentable cottages on the wharf,
when it was known as Windswept;

“The bedroom was a small loft with a great window
that held in it all one half of the night sky,” Tennessee Williams wrote in Memoirs (1975).

"No light was turned on or off as Kip removed his clothes.
Dimly, he stood there naked with his back to me.
After that, we slept together each night on the double bed up there,
and so incontinent was my desire for the boy that I would wake him repeatedly
during the night for more love-making.”

Kip was 22-year-old Kip Kiernan, né Bernard Dubowsky in Canada, from which
he had absented himself rather than face the draft,
as World War II had already begun for the British Commonwealth in the summer of 1940.

Kiernan was studying ballet in Manhattan and modeling for Hans Hofmann in Provincetown. Seven years Williams’s junior, he was to be the first man with whom the playwright fell rapturously in love, though their affair lasted only six weeks until Kiernan broke it off, telling Williams he feared becoming homosexual.

“The most significant influence Provincetown had on all Tennessee Williams’s
subsequent writing was that he fell in love there,”
David Kaplan wrote in Tennessee Williams in Provincetown (2007).
“The style and substance of the relationship was something he wrote about
directly and indirectly for the next 40 years.”
